Christian EXperIence.

A pious frame of mind is the most
precious acquisition that can be attained
in this world; it is as much superior to
the general religion that is current as
the health of a sound constitution is to
the bitter days and feelings of man in
a deep decline, or the regular order of
a sound intellect to the lucid moments
of the deranged. But this happy state
of mind is not generally attained at all
without much previous spiritual eXer-
else and praying without ceasing; nor
is it retained, when possessed, without
much watchfulness, prayer and con-
slant strivings against the corruptions
of the heart, the influence of circum-
stances and the various temptations of
life. But whatever may be the priva-
tons and difficulties attending its pos
session they are infinitely overbalanced
by the fruits of Joy and permanent con-
solutions it produces. In this state of
mind only it is that person is pre-
pared to meet the various storms and
trials of life, and can look forward with
a well-grounded composure to the close
of the present state; it is walking in
the light. The person is more ac-
quainted with divine things with a
moderate capacity than others with
larger intellect. He is at home in the
deeper subjects of experimental re-
ligion, the various workings of the cor
rupton of the human heart and the
weak yet genuine actings of divine grace
upon a revealed Savior, the suitable
ness of the promises to convey the
blessings of salvation to perishing SIN
ners, the adaptedness of Christ in
what he is and what he has done to
supply all the wants of sinners en-
lightened in the knowledge of them
selves and seeking salvation in his
name. He knows in some measure
the ineXpressible beauty of the moral
character of Christ, of God in him, and
has tasted the pleasure that flows from
thus beholding the beauty of the Lord.

Prayer.

l have lately taken to turn to the
character of God for comfort. Would
it be like him, the tender Father, to
hold aloof from weary, struggling,
sorrowing child, and only be really
near to those to whom he has given
power of prayer and enjoyment? For
peace are all his gifts (and who dare
say they are not?) it would simply be
unfair if he gave most love and care to
those who have them or when they have
them. Therefore the only consistent
conclusion is that he really is just as
near, Just as loving, when we do not
see or feel anything that we want
to do as when we do. Also, that as
his sovereignty and his love are CO.
equal and universal, they must be apply
ing here, and he only withholds the en-
joyment and conscious progress we long
for because he knows best what will
really ripen and further us most. And
do we not wrong his tenderness by our
distress at not being able to pray as we
would when we feel weak and i'll?
Does he not know, not only that we
would pray if we could, but also how
lluCl VIC are lOSlllS do W gil JOY luChI Wy
not feeling able, and so do think SYM
pathizing with us in this distress as
much as in any other? There are not
many things that have made me more
wildly conscious of the antagonism of
the old and new nature than the pouring
out of such prayers as may involve suffer
ing in their answers. There is shud-
dering and shrinking and wincing. One
trembles at the possible form the an.
swer may take, and is almost ready to
forego the desired spiritual blessing fol
very cowardice; but yet one prays on
and desire is stronger than fear, heaven
is stronger than earth, and one pleads
and wrestles to be "purified and made
white" even if these are to be insepa
rable from the following words, anC

this be linked with the " fellowship Of

Accumulation.

All the best things and treasures of
this world are not to be produced by
each generation for itself, but we are
all intended not to carve our work in
snow, that will melt, but each and all
of us to be continually rolling a great,
white, gathering SNOWFALL, higher and
higher, larger and larger, along the
Alps of human power. Thus the
science of the nations is to be accumu-
lative from father to son, each learn
ing a little more and a little more !;
each receiving all that was known and
adding its own gain. The history and
poetry of nations are to be accumula-
tive, each generation treasuring the
history and songs of its ancestors,
adding its own history and its own
songs. And the art of nations is to be
accumulative, just as science and his
tory are; the work of living men not
superseding, but building itself upon
the work of the past, all growing
together into one mighty temple, the
rough stones and the smooth all find
ing their places and rising day by day
in richer and higher pinnacles to
heaven.-RuSkin.

They Find the Ghost.

Rev. Doyce Starkeye had been a
month in the parsonage. The quarters
were new to him, but half dozen of
his predecessors had occupied the
house, which was pretty in itself and
prettily situated amid shrubbery and
trees. The place was smart town in
northern Michigan. The pastor and
his wife were entertaining for day
three of Mr.. Starkey's classmates at
college. These gentlemen came up
from Ohio for duck-shooting on the
Lake Huron shore, and had stopped off
for visit to their old school-fellow in
his new location.
After dinner visitors and hosts were
sitting in the cosy little parlor while
the shades of night deepened. The
talk was lively, and all were in the

Selected Stories.
In the Forest.

All what amournful change is here,
Since last stood beneath the trees,
When in the sunny summertime,
Their green leaves trembled on the breeze.
Then happy birds, with joyful song,
Filled all the air with music sweet,
Then all the forest rang with glee
And flowers bossomed at my feet
The birds are flown, the flowers gone,
The leaves fall slowly Hutterng;
Beneath the trees they fall and spread
A gold and crimson carpeting.
There's naught but silence all around,
A solemn stiffness everywhere;
A sadness DER the fallen leaves,
A sadness in the very air.
From deep, dim recesses there comes
The odor of decaying leaves;
The wind, among the naked boughs,
In hoarse and hollow murmur greves.
Beside the rocks, so cold and gray.
The long fern hangs dropping head;
Here saddened nature seems to mourn
summertime forever dead. Selected,

The Route.

Yesterday another was added to the
long list Of suicides committed In this
city. One OF the frail sisterhood re-
siding on Gslena street, concluding
that life had become a burden no
longer to be endured, Joined the great
majority by taking a dose Of morphine.
She was understood to be married to
q mau named Elf johnson, who left
here in the early part Of July and
went TO San Francisco. She has sent
him sums of money at various times
since. and lately IL was reported that
he was living with another woman.
This preyed upon her mind 10 such
an extent that she has made several
attempts upon her life. each OF which
was frustrated until the one on Sat.
urday night. IL was noticed yester.
day by her neigAbors that she wa
not stirring around at the usual hour
In the morning, and Matte Hill, her
landlady found her crouching on the
floor In the rear DOT Of her house

A Mstsphysicisnss Habits.

The famous Emmanuel Kant was very
methodical man in all his habits. It is
said of him by Heine that getting up in

lecturing and walking, all had exact
time; and the neighbors knew that it was
half past 3o'clock when Emmanuel Kant,
in his gray ~overcoat, a mulacca a n in
his hand, appeared in his house door, and

Breathing Through Tn. Mouth.

Those people who breathe through the
mouth draw dust constantly into their
lungs, where 1t remains permanently;
for Professor Tyndall has shown
that the exhaled air Is absolutely
free from dust particles. Profess
sor Reclaim asserts that city people at
the age of 30 usually have in their lungs
awhole gramme Of calcareous dust, which
they can never again get rid Of, and
which may engender dangerous disease.
Few people know that their skins as well
ss their lungs need a constant supply of
oxygen. The skin, as well as the lungs,
breathes and purifies the blood, as is
shown by the fact that the arterial blood
which goes to the skin does not turn
venous and dark elsewhere, but remains
red and pure.-The Epoch.

LET FOREIGN CAPITAL in.

LET FOREIGN CAPITAL IN.
In the late session the legislature
passed the following memorial to con-
gress asking an amendment to the
alien land law.
Your memoralists, the council and
house Of representa- tives composing
the legislative assembly Of the Terri
tory Of Montana. respectfully repre-
sent to your honorable bodie.
That the business Of mining, which
il one of the chief industries Of this
territory, requires for its successful
prosecution the expenditure Of large
sums of money in the development
and exploration of mines, and In the
erection and construction Of quartz
mills, smelling works and other ma.
chinery, and appliances necessary
for the reduction Of our ores and sepa-
arAtinu of the precious metals there
from.
Hitherto large amounts Of foreign
capital have been invested In our
mines and in the requisite machinery
and appliances necessary to reduce
the product thereof to bullion thereby
giving permanent and profitable en-
ployment to large numbers Of our citi-
zsns and adding very largely to the
taxable wealth Of the country. But
for the investment of foreign capital
In this manner, some Of the leading
mining properties 10 the territory to-
day would yet In all probability be
lying dormant and unproductive.
The risk and expense of developing
mining properties lie 80 great and there
are so many other avenues for the in-
vestment of money. where il the re-
turns promised are not so great, are
yet far more certain and secure, that
home capital in anything like requi.
site amounts lcannot be enlisted for
the development of our mines. For
the purpose Of carrying on these g.
gsntic enterprises resort must be had
to the great ..moneyed centers where
capital is abundant and seeking in
vestment, and the rate of interest low.
Encouraged by the result Of expert.
mental investments in this direction
capitalists lin some Of the largest
moneyed centers of the world were
preparing TO make large investments
in mining properties in Montana
when your honorable bodies passed
the act entitled IAN act to restrict the
ownership Of real estate In the terri
tories to American citizens, and 90
forth" approved March 3, 1887. But
for the passage of the act above men.
toned, II Is \ known fact that several
million dollars Of foreign capital
would have been invested in mining
ventures in this territory during the
present season. The holding In case
Of mineral land must Of necessity he
no limited in area. and the expendi.
ture of money aud labor 80 great in
order to make 1t productive, that II
cannot be claimed that the holding
Of this class Of property by aliens !,
any serious injury to anyone, and l,
certainly does result in great benefit
to the people Of this territory.
Wherefore, your memoralists earn
estly pray that said alien land scI
may be amended by your HONORABLE,
body so as to exclude from its opera,
alton mineral lands in the territories,
and your memorialists will as In duty
bound, ever pray.
